fyi
Bad news for Goldman Sachs...
Ruh Roh, we’re screwed (well maybe just those who live in AK above the panhandle).
It’s colder than 1980 (wasn’t that when Hansen sounded the CAGW alarm?).
Still, there is a small warming trend - though no signs of the runaway warming Hansen has been talking about.
And a warming trend is to be expected since we left the little ice age.
Most people agree that CO2 has a small warming effect, but no where near what the IPPC things. They rely on these positive feedback loops that are questionable to say the least.
If the earth’s climate is as unstable as they think we would either have stayed as Iceball Earth or gone the nightmare Venus route a long time ago already.
Besides, a little globalwarming is good for the planet and us living here.
I reserve my god-given right to cherry-pick salacious data with the best of them. Trend-schmend.
It’s odd though how the 98 en ninjo seems to have caused a step change... by some -0.2 degrees then a similar patter just a little higher.
Meant plus 0.2 and “pattern”
Anyhow, cherry picking is good. I love cherries :)
If you think things are getting uniformly warmer, you should talk to the folks of Circle Hot Springs, AK.
We are talking globally here.
It almost seeems like the global temp is corrolated inversly with the location where I live.
Now the global temp according to the same satellite has risen sharply, whilst here we have gotten the first real cold of this winter.
BTW the link is here:

Channel 5.
Anyhow, an increase of 0.2 degrees it way way to small to be noticable in the noice anyhow.
In other words for practical purposes it is the same as in 1980. Pretty much.
OK, so what’s with the reversal of the seasonality of the temps with increasing altitude?
Don’t believe anything coming from the liberal left. These frauds make their living propagandizing scams like global warming, global cooling, acid rain, ozone hole to grow government and keep them working.
What do you mean?
I checked out some of the plots for temps at various altitudes on an year long basis :

Global warming theory states that as the troposhere (surface to 10k) warms, because of atmospheric energy budget, this causes the stratoshere (10k to 50k) to cool.
I suppose this would apply seasonal as well, so summertime troposphere warms, stratosphere cools.
